Seeds... already...

Already... There are spent flowers.
Which mean, there are raggedy looking spots, in the garden.
And seeds...

One could look on these spent flowers and raggedy looking garden spots,
and seeds... and sigh....
"Oh dear me, Summer is coming to fullness."
"Oh dear me, that means that Autumn is coming."
"Oh dear me, and that means that Winter can't be too far behind."

Or......
One could look at these spent flowers, as seeds.
Which of course, they are. And thus, they are a sign of hope.
The sign and the promise of another Spring.
And of another Summer.
And of another Autumn.

Which way will we choose, to look on seeds...?
